Liberia is not a place tht is of a vital national interest to the US
Peter Binert discusses how Liberians would like to be rescued by the US from the clutches of a despot named Charles Taylor. Taylor, like most folks in Liberia is a descendant of freed slaves that were returned to Africa. There are no phony African names in Liberia.
While the country has had some dealings with al Qaeda in the diamond smuggling racket, Taylor has been smart enough to make no direct threats against the US the way Saddam did. Those in Liberia who want to be rescued by the US need to play up the dangers of the diamond smuggling operations and the connection with al Qaeda if they want to make the Washington, radar screen.
